NBA experience makes you a whole lot better in Euroleague I would say. So if Tomic does ever come over, give him a year to see how he does
Man, I watched those games. It wasn't in EuroLeague (our version of NBA), it was in EuroBasket ("our" PanAmerican championships) under FIBA soft-please-do-not-touch-me rules. Marc played with a ease and still dominated all over Tomic on a both sides of the court. Plus, there was very little power game from Gasol.
A. Tomic is good, yet not great player even for euroball standards. In NBA he would've been just a bench warmer.
